Ride Cymbal on Crimson kit

Has anyone changed their Ride cymbal setting from the default ?
My Ride Cymbal sounds flat/dull compared to an acoustic cymbal.   The Crash and Hi-Hat sound fine.

My current Ride settings are as follows:

Ride: Sensitivity 16, Threshold 14, X-Talk 16, Curve 1, Retrig. 2
Ride Edge: Rim Sens. 15 Threshold 14, X-Talk 16, Curve 1, Retrig. 2
Ride Bell: Rim Sens. 15 Threshold 14, X-Talk 16, Curve 1, Retrig. 2

Can't recall how much that deviates from the factory settings. Have you tried other Ride samples from the module?

Thanks.   These settings did make a significant improvement.  Not sure what the original values were, but I did recall seeing a value of 9 in either sensitivity, threshold or x-talk.

Glad they helped. There was no exact science applied here, just simple adjustment by ear :)

Enjoy! :)
